How did the make the fenders, etc. Were they all hand crafted? Must take a tremendous amount of work to make two fenders in reverse and alike, the the doors, dash, etc. . . .

Bodies were made by Ghia in Italy. Likely hand mammered over wooden bucks.

1940 Newport dual cowl phaeton...I like this one best so far.

The yellow one on the right is the Firearrow II, built on Dodge's 119" wheelbase with a Dodge 241-cid hemi V8 mated to Gyrotorque Drive, Chrysler's M-6 semi-automatic with a torque converter.

The red one on the left is the earlier Firearrow I.
